Chapter 1018 Divide troops to save Shuofang (2)

Next to Zhang Juyan, a silly and frivolous detective team officer dressed as a farmer also reported in a heavy tone:

"General, the locust damage in this Central Plains has never stopped since the beginning of spring, and the prefectures and counties they pass by are bald, all the plants, trees, animals and horses."

"Now, many cities are still hungry and hungry people are still hanging in the wild. What's even worse is that even if you rush to plant green seedlings, it is difficult to survive."

"So the people inside and outside the city are like the two heavens of hell on earth... The defenders and the Turkish groups in various places are also strictly guarding against outsiders."

"It is considered a conscience to drive out with swords and guns, and even those who directly rob the refugees of the passers-by, they then drove the red corpses into the dry ditch..."

"If we hadn't always been careful, we would have been afraid that we would not be able to escape after being targeted for the past three times. Even so, we would have hurt several brothers and would have almost never come back."

"But we went east separately and never got a contact with Na Zhu Liushou Headquarters. We saw chaos in all parts of Duji Province, and real and fake news flew around..."

"Today some people say he is in Xingyang, and tomorrow they will rush over and some people say that he is in Biancheng; then after rushing to Biancheng, he almost bumped into Cai's thief's men and horses..."

"Some people even say that he has died in the army, so all his subordinates have done their own things, and they are fighting and attacking and killing each other around the grain stored in Luoduhan Jiacang..."

"So my brothers have been running around these days and have never had the opportunity to get close to Luodu, so they were blocked from various passes; they were unable to contact the old subordinates in the Duji army who were still familiar with each other..."

Speaking of this, the detective team official who was born in the old rebel army in the Central Plains paused and said:

"The brothers who went east were rewarded; it is said that they walked up the Wuzhang River through Hua, and in various places, they successfully arrived at the nearshore of Onozawa in Yunzhou..."

"But the local area is also fighting in chaos among all parties. Moreover, after the locust plague passes through, there is no sign of farming. There are many villages, towns and towns, and there are more wild dogs wandering with the wilderness than living people..."

"There are several banners of the hedgehogs gathered on both sides of the Onozawa vassal states. They found that the athletes could not get close to and enter Yuncheng, so they could only spy on a distance, confirming that the flag of the Tianping Army was still hanging on the besieged prefecture city..."

"Thank you so hard..."

However, Zhang Juyan encouraged and sighed secretly.

He was from Linpu, Puzhou (now southwest of Juancheng, Shandong) and was also the first person in the same county to follow Wang Xianzhi to uprising. His family was a well-off and prosperous family who had been farming for generations. If it weren't for years of famine and extravagance, he was really unable to survive by the fugitive farmers, so why would he give up the food and clothing and make a living in the fields?

Although he is inevitably worried and worried about his hometown, he has not much to do now. He stabilizes the situation in most parts of Ruzhou here, and at the same time accepts, selects and transports refugees and refugees who flee like a tide; at the same time, he also has to resist and clear up all kinds of armed forces who are desperate or take risks;

At the same time, we must also set up defenses and set up bases on the southern bank of the Huai River to prevent Zhu Cun's troops from blocking the refugee tide and the traversing armed forces from the south; to form a corresponding cooperation and echo; to ensure that the restoration of production and infrastructure of the new territory that has not been pacified, and not being affected or impacted too much is the limit within his ability.

For this reason, he had to break the rules and began to select strong men from the local gathering and reorganization of the armed forces to fill the various forts and the garrisons and strongholds transformed by Guanshi;

Select labor from the refugees to extinguish and curb pests, and then use several of the camps to serve as emergency and standby firefighters to fight the traversing armed forces in the offensive world.

However, from the current situation, one of his main tasks to lead troops into Henan (to respond to and support the forces of the Dukido and Tianping Army that tend to be inclined to this side, and to wait for an opportunity to restrain some external threats and pressures), which has failed a little bit.

The remaining tasks, including seeking opportunities to attack and curbing the Cai thief's forces, preventing the spread of locust plagues, etc., require enough time to arrange and advance. In this way, after Sanchuan pacified one after another, he would not be able to catch up with the next strategy within the pass; this is undoubtedly a regrettable thing.

But from another perspective, as long as he works hard to deepen his cultivation and management here, he will lay enough preparations and preparations for the future; once the Taiping Army needs to pacify the Central Plains/Kanto, as the corresponding leading general and the head coach who is most familiar with the local situation, who will he give up?

At this time, a general came from under the high platform where he was watching the formation and reported loudly:

"The general, in the area of ​​Mangyangshan in Songzhou, found the traces of Cai thief. The flag is the White Army of the Tutou under Sun Ru's command..."

——I am the dividing line—

In the Guannei Road and Shannan West Road, in Guancheng on the half slope of Dasanling, Gao Renhou, who had been unable to sleep and restlessly for several days and nights, finally waited for the first support army that he had been looking forward to; the Tianxiong Army (Qinzhou) who was wearing two armors, with ear-clamped hats and round-petal helmets, and holding the flying cloud white horse flag.

Although standing on the wall and looking around, the Tianxiong Army that came from the north was vaguely only about a thousand people; but finally it greatly boosted the morale and morale of more than 8,000 new and old men in Dasan Pass. Therefore, the defenders in the pass could not wait to open the door to greet him.

However, the next moment, the thief camp on the other end of Guancheng again sounded the sound of the sky-shaking golden drums and the loud whistling of the mountains and the earth. Gao Renhou had to give up his negotiations with the reinforcements, and hurriedly turned his head back to the front of the formation to supervise the battle and command one or two, otherwise he would be afraid that the soldiers whose morale had improved slightly would make more mistakes again.

However, just as Gao Renhou arrived at the city south of Dasan Pass, he watched with his own eyes the barriers and cannon cars slowly advancing along the winding mountain valley roads of Dasan Ridge; there were also groups of short spears holding guns, raising signs and crossing swords, and amid the fine drum beats, the Taiping Army arrays over the mountain gorges like gray torrents;

Then, while the first cannon cart retreated to the front, the Tianxiong army from the north seemed to have received a urge to rush through the gatehouse of the North Pass and rushed into the market north of Dasan Pass.

The next moment, while they were negotiating with the officers in the inner gate who came to contact, they inadvertently scattered everywhere and approached the wall one after another. Then, suddenly, with a sharp whistle, they swarmed up to the north wall and gatehouse of the city, and caught the stunned or unknown defenders, and cut and killed them into a river of blood.

Not long after, with those figures who were rushed to help, they were knocked down one after another in the chaotic market. Several colorful flame arrows rose from the city gate tower of Beiguan to the sky, and a crisp sound burst out;...

So, after only half a day of battle, the moment when Wang Xingkong, the other general who came from Dachang Pass, was leading the team to venture across the foot of Taibai Mountain to disguise his surprise attack, and met Li Hanzhi, who was responsible for the attacking first, at the moment.
